How close to an electrical outlet does it have to be?

It's in the crawl space underneath the house now, but I believe the device's own cord is 4-5'. My electrician was able to add an outlet to an existing electrical conduit near the main water feed (which the coils need to be wrapped around). Otherwise, the unit would have required a 20' extension cord, which neither of us thought was a good idea for permanent installation!

Mine is 2 inches from the wall, a little less if measured from the face-plate of the outlet.

I mounted my unit about 2 feet away from an existing wall receptacle. If I had to use an extension cord, I would use a 13 or 15 amp rated extension cord for this purpose.

Without measuring...probably 3ft. Not long. The unit would need to be close to the electric source. But that's true of most electric appliances that draw a lot of current. Not appropriate for an extension cord either.

The electrical connection must be made at the outside unit. it will feed the electricity to the inside. The connection at the outside unit should have a disconnect so that you can cut power to the unit

The cord is long enough, you can stand a few ft. away from an outlet to be able to use.

I'm not an electrician so I can't give you a professional answer. From my understanding, however, any outlets outside should have a special cover made for outdoor use.

Connects to outlet box. Need to make sure you have enough room. May need to to cut some of the siding.

No Julie as long as your outlet is not located near a sink or any other water source.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

Its about four feet electrical cord. I don't have it close to an outlet and I can still plug it in.

It would need to be close to a window for ventilation. Its suggested to be no more then 4 feet away from the vent source.

No. I have a power block plugged in and was able to use the outlets next to it. Very nice power strip at a good price.

There is a six-food cord on this unit. Place the outlet where it will be reached.

More modern homes/apartments seem to have electrical outlets near the windows as in my case. I have a double size window in the bedroom and I can put the fan in either windows, and, the cord will reach the outlet on the opposite side of the window.Sorry I don't have the exact measurement of the attached cord.

It is not quite big enough to cover a standard outlet box. I would put a solid plate over the outlet box and then install on either side, preferably on the stud the box is connected too.

It's about 36" - I have mine close to the outlet so I don't extend it all the way.
